Welcome to Madagascar!

Madagascar is a place like no other — home to rainforests, coral reefs, and species found nowhere else on Earth. But it’s also a country facing real challenges: deforestation, limited healthcare, under-resourced schools, and plastic pollution.

Outreach Overseas offers immersive, community-driven volunteer programs that support local needs while providing you with hands-on experience in conservation, education, construction, and healthcare.

Whether you’re looking to get involved in marine research, teach English in a rural village, or help build a clinic, every project is locally led, ethically structured, and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
